Waking
up?
Beep Beep Beep
Isittimetowakeup?
WasIDreaming?IsItFriday?
Oh, no.
It's just, another day.
Out of the room
brushing my teeth
dressing up
getting ready.
No more time for breakfast, whatever's in the room.
Running running running
Session 1:
Let the clock strike 10.
Sleeping or dreaming of sleeping.
Can you repeat that?
I couldn't hear.
Walk, Walk, Walk.
Lunch:
Who's around?
Schedules clash, don't they?
Planning ahead:
I remember now.
It's you and you, then you.
Now it's time-
Avoid main entrees,
getting settled.
Abundance in little.
Walk.
Oh, that person from that time
Walk.
Oh, another squirrel
Walk.
Oh, a flyer
Walk.
Oh, life
Hour Gap:
Free time, my time,
or lost time?
Finding friends
interacting or not-
Update entries with the world.
Yawning.
Ticking clock.
Thinking
thinking
thinking
Too late.
Running running running
Session 2:
Let the clock strike 12.
Ah, makes more sense
though I didn't read.
I know but I don't know.
Walk.
What comes next?
Walk.
This turn here.
Walk.
Yes.
Session 3:
Information limit
Or lack thereof?
Last one to go.
Talking, sitting, listening.
Talking, sitting, listening.
Talking,
Midterm?
sitting,
Grades?
listening,
Future?
Distraction.
Walking (running), walking (running), walking (running).
Dinner:
With or alone?
Same question every night:
Friends?
Family?
Twins?
Chew. Independence?
Chew. Question mark?
Chew. Chew. Chew.
... Swallow.
Walk. You're that person from that time.
Walk. Hanging out.
Walk. Will I go out?
Walk. What's the borderline?
Walk. Finals?
Walk. What about summer?
Walk. Am I ready?
Walk. I wish there would be care.
Walk. The motivation to move.
Walk. Sedentary life.
Walk. Flab.
Walk. Love?
Starting the job (maybe).
Opening the book (ideally).
Doing the work.
Thinking:
not an option.
Thinking:
a passing thought.

"Itistimetowakeup?"
You have no idea how much that line connects with me.
Is this written metaphorically or in a real sense? Either way, it's awesome.
It's actually both metaphorical and real. If you didn't catch the pattern, I italicized everything that could be portrayed as a real action, such as the "running" and "walking." But, later on you'll notice that my thoughts in the poem become italicized. In that case the italicized words symbolize what are thoughts and not real, and what's not italicized is what is reality.
